"Fly Me to the Moon..."Good News for Russian Sub SailorsPrivate Company Plans Tour Around the Moon
Space Adventures, a company based in Arlington, Va., has already sent two tourists into orbit. Today, it is to unveil an agreement with Russian space officials to send two passengers on a voyage lasting 10 to 21 days, depending partly on its itinerary and whether it includes the International Space Station. A roundtrip ticket will cost $100 million. The space-faring tourists will travel with a Russian pilot. They will steer clear of the greater technical challenge of landing on the Moon, instead circling it and returning to Earth.The Chief has to like this one, big time. Anything that extends our presence in space is a positive - and this will reinforce the moves for NASA to re-extend itself in the direction of lunar basing.
Granted there's not any new technology in this, but what of it? Columbus, and those who came after him didn't use "new technology" either to explore and settle a "new world".
Al, We Hardly Knew YeSubmariners in peril are saved by the 'brotherhood of the sea'
The Chief extends a "bravo zulu" (well done) to the Russian submariners who maintianed their professional composure under extremely tough conditions, and to the UK Royal Navy team that enabled the positive outcome to this potential tragedy.
Maritime disasters or potential disasters always jab the Chief's attention. Based on his own modest sea-going experience on a DDG for a couple years, it's never hard to identify with those situations - at sea anything can happen, and generally does, somewhere, sometime.
Fortunately for the Russians, this time they dodged the bullet, or should it be that they dodged the depth charge!
